Section 2: Breath types and modes
This section describes the breath types and ventilation mode combinations available
for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients using the Avea ventilator.
Breath types
There are two basic breath types:
• Mandatory breaths (delivered according to the set ventilator parameters)
• Demand breaths (triggered by the patient)
All breaths are defined by four variables:
1
• Trigger (initiates the breath)
• Control (controls the delivery)
• Limit (terminates the breath)
• Cycle (initiates the frequency of delivery)
